kprobes: Set unoptimized flag after unoptimizing code
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Set the unoptimized flag after confirming the code is completely
unoptimized. Without this fix, when a kprobe hits the intermediate
modified instruction (the first byte is replaced by an INT3, but
later bytes can still be a jump address operand) while unoptimizing,
it can return to the middle byte of the modified code, which causes
an invalid instruction exception in the kernel.

Usually, this is a rare case, but if we put a probe on the function
call while text patching, it always causes a kernel panic as below:

 # echo p text_poke+5 > kprobe_events
 # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable
 # echo 0 > events/kprobes/enable

invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
 RIP: 0010:text_poke+0x9/0x50
 Call Trace:
  arch_unoptimize_kprobe+0x22/0x28
  arch_unoptimize_kprobes+0x39/0x87

  ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80
  ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50

text_poke() is used for patching the code in optprobes.

This can happen even if we blacklist text_poke() and other functions,
because there is a small time window during which we show the intermediate
code to other CPUs.
